You buy flowers for your wife
The Rose
Of cause it is for her, but this is not an excuse for not taking one from to bunch. And making a photo of it in the kitchen. As you can see from the result it is not the setup that makes a great picture. More knowning how to control the light. And not the two bottles and the wire holding the flower.
Hasselblad H4D w/80mm
And to get closer I use a extension tube on 26mm
And of cause you shoot direcly in to the computer (tethering), so you can see the focus point right away.
Phocus for tethering
